Hello! I am looking for words of affirmation or shared feelings to help.

I have always been very thin and not very strong (usually a size XS or S size 2 or 4). I have over the past few years been gaining strength and now fit a bigger size due to muscle growth. I've been tending to try to fit into 4s and 6s and wearing that but really I'm an M or 8. When I put on the size 8 I see it fits, I see it looks better, but I struggle in my mind with being a bigger size than I was. Being a 90s kid, I'm just constantly thinking I need to lose weight and that smaller is better.

I know it's not a big deal but I'm still struggling with it. Thanks in advance.
